Mikey tries to get Ozu to renew his contract, but Ozu, in the midst of his annual holiday angst, shouts out that Mikey was hired on the show because he won a contest, and that he is not a great actor.
Crushed, Mikey is about to leave for Ohio. He bumps into Laurence, his guardian angel, who shows him what things would've been like if he had NOT won the contest, similar to the classic film It's a Wonderful Life.
In the subplot, shortly after the meeting, Ozu is confronted with the Ghosts of Japanese Christmas Past, Present, and Future, to make him understand where his holiday depression came from, like A Christmas Carol.
